To all 'whomfit may' concern:

Be it lnwwn that l. Mauri): Titeln. a

Citizen of the lnited States. and resident oit Rorhester. in the eountiY of ll'onroe and State' of New York, have invented Certain new and uset'ul linprm'einents in Chaire, of whieh the following-5 is a' specification. This invention relates to an improvement in chairs. and has for itsuihieet to provide, as part of the chairs. and within reaeh et' the person usiner it, a place where sewing' materials and other articles can be kept.

ln the drawings :--l. `ignre l is a erossiseetion of a chair on the line l-l oit 'Fig'. 2, just below the Seat; and Figs. and 3 are both sections on the irregular line 2-3 oi Fig. l.y showing` the parts in different positions.

The upper part ot' the chair above the seat is not shown in the drawings, :since unimportant to the improvements in question. 'l`he seat. l, legs 2 and side braees i5, 25 'for the legs are et the usual construction. The front and rear cross-rail supports l, 5, 'for the seat l. have oppositely-plaeed grooves l and 5 in theni which serve as zruidos t'or roller-bearines t5. t3 on the rear ends, ref speetively, ot drawers T. T, that are adapted to slide in and out beneath the seat. one at each side, and which are. respmftirely.v supported at their outer ends by the :side braeesl il. 5l. t a point between said drawers, one or more stops 8, shown in the 'torni ot buttons, are attaeh'ed to the under side ot' the` feat, whieh in one position prevent the drawers troni being thrust back beneath the seat too tar 'for theni to be acressible. The E) ot' the d rawers are recessed at lt). lt). respectively, so that when thenarrower sides of the buttons are presented to them. the drawers ean be shoved baek beyond them till their lront ends drop ott1 from the cross-rails 3. 3, respectively. ln order that. the dra wers may be entirely withdrawn from the chair, the. ehannels er grooves 4a, 5 have grooves 1lb, 5" leading out. from them 'eitudinal guides to the bottoni ot the front and rear rails -l and respectively. at points about epposite the buttons.

To remove the drawer troni. the chair. it is nee rdinefly necessary to first shove it Iinwardly till the end of the roller passes in beyond the transverse supporting rail, in

which ease the supporting` rollers t3 on the inner end of thev drawer will 'pass in belrond the `grooves 'l'). 5", as shown in Fig. 3, and then, after droppint;- down the 'front end et' the drawei 7 as als) shown in Fig. pulling it forward till the rollers reach. and pass through the said grooves l", 5'.

lt, is obvious that this saine construction is available and useful in connection with tables. as well as Chairs. and also with other articles of furniture that have a tixed fiaty top or Supporting sut-tare. This produces a chair that is eonvenient in many ways. and whie'n uraltes a particularlyv desirable ladys sewingehair.

ln an article ot furniture. the combination with a fixed horizontal part, ol a`drawer innnwliatel)7 beneath the saine, having' en each side at its rear end an outwardly projeeting hearing; a transverse supporting,r rail tor the outer end ot' the drawer; lont'or said rollers7 haring transverse ways leadinv down through and out troni them. respectively. for the passage ot said bearing that, are located between the locations ot' thebearings when the drawer is in its normally closed position and when it is pushed iu beyond the'said transverse support Yfor its lorward end; and a stop adapted in one position toprevent, the drawer troni passing): inwardly beyond its .Sz-lid `transverse support; substantially as shown and deseribed.
